), who is going to the same city to break the marriage of her fiance to a well-to-do man's daughter. Temporarily, Gopi hides the chain in Veena's bag, but later, when it is time to disembark, he can't find it again. So he stays with her and these two become unlikely companions in a long journey, and they don't like each other at the start. But time changes things, and soon they're friends mutually helping each other out. They end up in a hotel in Karnataka and go through a case of mistaken identities together.Â
Analysis: The movie is full of slapstick humor, which is very popular among the masses. A good part of the movie feels like bits from the director's other movies, but they all come together very well despite this. Priyadarshan-Â Dileep is a good combination, a surprising change after the nearly thirty movies with the usual Priyadarshan-Â Mohanlal union. Dileep fits the role and along with the mass of comedians and his lead actress, truly lights up the movie. He has a creditable comedy timing and is a gifted artist.
The lead actress, Bhavna, is a Mumbai model doing her first movie in Malayalam, but she looks like she has good experience already. Despite not knowing the language, she does good lip syncing to the voice of Bhagyalakshmi.The scriptwriter duo Priyadarshan and Siby K. Thomas have added witty dialogues throughout the movie.
Star Performances: Siby K. Thomas and Priyadarshan have together written the screenplay. Comedians like Sukumari,

of Revathy Kalamandir. Berny Ignatius's music feels like the kind that's been endlessly reused, but it works wells according to the mood of the film. N. K. Ekambaram is responsible for the cinematography. Bhagyalakshmi was hired for doing Bhavna Puri's voice.
What's there?
1. Dileep is, as expected, amazing. He has perfect comedy timing and is great with dialogue delivery.
2. There is sufficient humor throughout the movie to keep the viewer entertained.
3. Other than Dileep in a comic role, the multitude of humorists brought in are a laugh-riot.
What's not there?
1.There isn't much original about the movie. It is package of carefully selected bits from their other movies, a lot that we've already seen before.
2.The movie has a lot of characters; so many that you lose track of who is who.
Verdict: The movie is a great entertainer and has an adequate dose of comedy. A large proportion of viewers would find this to be a great watch.
